Best version of Fred’s parents are from the pirate movie. They’re aggressively Midwestern, have money to blow on Fred’s niche interests, and they love their only son so, sooo much!

Black American Music Month

• ELIZABETH “LIBBA” COTTEN - She was a maid at 9, wrote a hit song at 11 — and won a Grammy at 93. Not to mention she was a self-taught left-handed guitarist who played a guitar strung for a right-handed player, but played it upside down. This position meant that she would play the bass lines with her fingers and the melody with her thumb.

• SISTER ROSETTA THARPE- The “Godmother of Rock & Roll.” She helped shape modern popular music, was one of the few Black female guitarists to ever find commercial success and the first artist to blend gospel with the secular.

• ODETTA HOLMES - Known as “The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement.” In 1963, she sang for the masses on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at the March on Washington. Her musical repertoire consisted largely of American folk music, blues, jazz, and spirituals.

• PEGGY JONES - Nicknamed “Lady Bo” played rhythm guitar in Bo Diddley's band in the late 1950s and early 1960s, becoming one of the first (perhaps the first) female rock guitarists in a highly visible rock band. Sometimes called the “Queen Mother of Guitar.”

• LIZZIE “MEMPHIS MINNIE” DOUGLAS - Known as the “Queen of the Blues,” was a singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Her title stems from her legacy of successfully recording music across four decades as well as being the lone female voice in a male dominated blues scene.

• NORMA JEAN WOFFORD - Nicknamed “The Duchess” by Bo Diddley, she was the second female guitarist in Diddley's backing band.

• ALGIA MAE HINTON - She was widely recognized as a master picker and buckdancer in the Piedmont styles. She would often play her guitar behind her head while buck dancing.

• ETTA BAKER - She was a Piedmont blues/folk guitarist and singer who began playing the guitar at age 3. Taught by her father, long-time Piedmont player Boone Reid, Etta played 6-string and 12-string acoustic guitar, and 5-string banjo. She was a master of the blues guitar style that became popular in the southern piedmont after the turn of the century.

• JESSIE MAE HEMPHILL - A legend of hill country blues guitar. She grew up in a lineage of familial fife-and-drums bands from northern Mississippi, rose to popularity in the mid-1980s and had a fruitful career during which she performed around the globe, traveling mostly on her own. She played in open tunings and, having started as a drummer, had a percussive guitar style that included slapping and banging the instrument. She would also tie a tambourine around her calf, which, together with her strumming-and-drumming guitar work, gave her performance the sound of a one-woman-band.

• BEVERLY “GUITAR” WATKINS - One part soul singer, one part rockin' roadhouse mama, and one part gifted songwriter. She's been chronically under-recorded for a woman with her résumé, performing with the likes of James Brown, Ray Charles and Otis Redding. She didn’t record her first album until she was 60. Her blistering licks on a 1962 red Fender Mustang earned her the well-deserved nickname “Guitar.” She gon’ put on a show:

One more for good measure:

• WILLIE MAE “BIG MAMA” THORNTON - Also referred to as “The Godmother of Rock & Roll.” She was a blues singer, songwriter, self-taught drummer, and harmonica player. She was the first to record "Hound Dog", in 1952, which became her biggest hit, staying seven weeks at number one on the Billboard R&B chart in 1953 and selling almost two million copies. She also helped to shape the sound and style of “Texas-blues,” an evolving blues sub-genre known to incorporate swing and big band elements.

Bo Diddley and his first protégé, Peggy Jones, nicknamed Lady Bo. She played rhythm guitar for Bo from 1957-61 while also working independently as a songwriter, session musician and bandleader of her own group, The Fabulous Jewels. Before leaving to focus on her band full-time, she wrote for Bo, the instrumental single, Aztec (1961). The recorded guitar work was all hers. This photo was from a brief reunion gig in the 80's.

Binah and Bakene (Yumeno Yumemi and Rhett Butler)

Late submission for Day 4 of @smvillainsweek 2023, theme: "Origin / Reincarnation". This is the past life of Yumemi Yumeno and Rhett Butler- two of the Seven Great Youma-, before the Golden Kingdom had fully become the Dark Kingdom and before the invasion of the moon. This piece is directly Inspired by the "Our Super Weapon R" doujinshi / fan manga from 2003, by Senhi Shinban and Kazuyuki Tsukine. It was a completed 3 volume doujinshi (which is SFW, and involves all seven Great Youma (especially Ryo Urawa / Bunbo), as well as Naru, Thetis, the Shitennou, the Makaiju aliens, and other characters). Our Super Weapon R has never been fully translated, but raw Japanese scans can be found on MissDream (as well as volume 2 and volume 3). This year marks the 20th anniversary of this cool doujinshi! Here's their original artwork for comparison:

I'd love to see a full translation of this doujinshi, since I've been trying to read it with Google translate and can only get a rough idea of the story. It seems like a kindred spirit to some of my own ideas, and an inspiration I'd like to be able to reference in my own project! First though, I still want to make more pieces for Villains week. I have ideas for all 7 days but I only have day 6's piece started yet- hopefully I can go back and do my other ideas over the course of October? We'll see.

Ahhhh yes. The polycule of Fred Jones' parents expands ever larger! Am I ever going to watch Velma? Maybe one day, but that day isn't any time soon. Am I still going to insert his parents from Velma into the polycule? YES!

Because I believe in my heart of hearts that Brad, Judy, and Fred Sr. are in a polycule together. While we're at it, Skip and Peggy are in there too, because Fred deserves to have more and actually good parents in his life! And with Velma, I am proud to announce two newcomers to the Jones polycule! William and Victoria Jones! And apparently Victoria is a serial killer! They'll fit in perfectly!

I don't know exactly how concerned I should feel that 2/3 of Fred's moms have STRONG murder vibes... Meanwhile his 4 dads seem to have much less murderous vibes in comparison... Then again, I can believe that this is EXACTLY why Fred is Like That!
